Send Me Down To Tucson
Recorded by Mel Tillis
Written by Cliff Crofford and Snuff Garrett
[3/4 time]

C               Em         Am            Em
No one wants to go down to Tucson in the summer 
   C             Em         Dm
So this time the boss chose me 
G7               Dm                G7               Dm
I've been sort-a restless guess he thought it might help if 
      G7                        C  Dm
I got away from my wife and family 
  
        C             Em              Am           Em
There'd been no other woman since the mother of my children 
       C              Am          Dm    Fm
And in each and every way she's a lady 
            G7              Dm              G7               Dm
Now there's one that I'll remember a sultry night we spent together 
        G             G7             C
And she satisfied the love inside of me 

G7        C               Em         Am           Em
Go on and send me down to Tucson and I'll get the job done 
     C           Em                Dm   G7
Then call up the one who's love is free 
F          G7         Em      Am           Dm              Fm
She may be easy and I love my lady but the lady don't satisfy 
    G7             C
The love inside of me

                        Em               Am                  Em
I know my lady's not to blame cause they raised her prim and proper 
      C                 Am                  Dm  Fm
While another takes her pleasures where she can 
           G7               Dm          G7            Dm
The one in Tucson she don't hide it and when she gets excited 
              G                 G7     C
She makes you feel you're every inch a man

                      Em          Am            Em
But if I could have a wish that I knew would be granted 
          C         Am             Dm  Fm
Don't you know that one wish would be 
        G7            Dm       G7                   Dm
Just to lay beside my lady and she'd be the kind of lady 
        G7                    C
To satisfy the love inside of me
